Las Vegas Police Department Investigating A Home With Alleged Connection To Tupac Shakur’s Murder

According to CBSNews 8, the Las Vegas Police Department is currently searching a home that is suspected to have some ties to the death of rapper Tupac Shakur. The late rapper passed away September 7th, 1996 following a boxing match in Vegas on the famous Vegas Strip where he was shot from point blank range from an unknown assailant.

Now, new developments indicate that on Monday, a search warrant was granted to police to search a home between Interstate 11 and Wagon Wheel Dr as part of the ongoing investigation into Shakur’s death that still remains unsolved.

On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur was in Las Vegas, Nevada, to celebrate his business partner Tracy Danielle Robinson’s birthday and attended the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing match with Suge Knight at the MGM Grand.

At about 11 pm on Las Vegas Boulevard, bicycle-mounted police stopped the car for its loud music and lack of license plates. The plates were found in the trunk and the car was released without a ticket.

At about 11:15 pm at a stop light, a white, four-door, late-model Cadillac sedan pulled up to the passenger side and an occupant rapidly fired into the car. Shakur was struck four times: once in the arm, once in the thigh, and twice in the chest[196] with one bullet entering his right lung.

Shards hit Knight’s head. Frank Alexander, Shakur’s bodyguard, was not in the car at the time. He would say he had been tasked to drive the car of Shakur’s girlfriend, Kidada Jones.

Shakur was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada where he was heavily sedated and put on life support. In the intensive-care unit on the afternoon of September 13, 1996, Shakur died from internal bleeding. He was pronounced dead at 4:03 pm. The official causes of death are respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest associated with multiple gunshot wounds.
